Abstract: Conventional portable workshop magazines cannot be combined to form larger units and are only suitable for storing loose items and tools, but not for storing complete carrying cases. By equipping the magazine (1) with complementary means (19, 20; 19, 28; 21, 22) which can preferably be constructed as catch means, a capability of connection is achieved in both spatial directions. The magazines are suitable for accommodating drawers (3), shelves and carrying cases (2). The workshop magazine according to the invention can be used universally, allocated individually, its contents are easy to monitor and it contributes to improving safety at work due to the possibility of being grouped together to form larger units. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of fabricating an electrical contact formed at least in part of a precious metal (23, 23A) which defines a contact surface on the electrical contact. In this method, an initial discrete deformation of the precious metal (23, 23A) extends a projection (27, 27A) of the precious metal to a first preselected height beyond the contact surface. Thereafter a further discrete deformation of at least the precious metal projection (27, 27A) forms it into a preselected configuration and also alters the extension of the precious metal projection (27, 27A) to another preselected height beyond the contact surface different than the first preselected height. An electrical contact and a method of fabricating an electrical contact and securing it to a continuous strip of a generally thin electrical conductive metallic material are also disclosed.

Abstract: In a process for regenerating alkaline solutions for pickling aluminium, in which aluminium hydroxide is recovered, a pickling solution containing alkali hydroxide, aluminate, a complex builder and other additives is transferred from a pickling bath into a reactor section consisting of at least one reactor, where aluminium is precipitated as aluminium hydroxide. The temperature of the pickling bath is higher than that of the reactor section. The process is operated so that the concentration of aluminate, alkali and gluconate and the temperature in the pickling bath, on the one hand, and the temperature drop from the pickling bath to the reactor section, on the other hand, are adjusted so that the pickling solution in the pickling bath is undersaturated or metastably supersaturated in relation to the precipitation of aluminium hydroxide but unstably supersaturated in the reaction section. A device for carrying out the process of the invention is also disclosed.

Abstract: Lorsqu'un ensemble à défoncer comporte une commande réglable de l'inclinaison et possède un bloc poussoir, il est souvent difficile ou impossible pour l'opérateur de voir l'extrémité de l'outil à défoncer. On a mis au point une configuration dans laquelle un bloc poussoir (52) est solidaire d'un cadre (14) et un chariot (16) pour outil à défoncer est fixé pour pivoter audit cadre (14). Puisque le bloc poussoir (52) est solidaire du cadre (14), ledit chariot (16) est simple et peu encombrant et assure donc à l'opérateur une meilleure vue de l'arrière de l'ensemble à défoncer (10). En outre, une ouverture (46) est ménagée dans le cadre (14) directement devant le chariot (16) de sorte que l'opérateur puisse voir clairement la zone autour de la tige (70) et/ou l'extrémité (72) de l'outil à défoncer lorsque ce dernier n'est pas enfoncé dans la terre. La vue meilleure de l'arrière de l'ensemble à défoncer (10) est améliorée par le fait qu'un premier (98) et un second (100) réservoirs de commande de l'inclinaison sont solidaires du chariot (16) qui leur est généralement voisin.

Abstract: A clamp structure (10) which is provided with at least one pair of plastically deformable ear-like folds (15a,15b) located on opposite sides of a center longitudinal cut in the clamping band and spaced in the circumferential direction by such a distance that they can be plastically deformed simultaneously by the use of a pincer-like tool. The pincer-like tool (130) includes two sets of jaw-like members spaced from one another so as to permit simultaneous engagement of the two ear-like folds of a respective pair. The pincer-like tool may thereby have a relatively fixed center member forming a relatively fixed jaw-like member and two pivotally supported jaw-like members operable to be actuated toward one another. In the alternative, the pincer-like tool may include two sets of jaw-like members pivotally connected with each other whose points of pivotal connection are coupled with each other as also corresponding jaw-like members to assure movement in unison. By simultaneously plastically deforming the two ear-like folds while maintaining their relative position in the circumferential direction, a clamp structure can be realized devoid of any gaps, discontinuities or steps that might otherwise be a source of leakage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: For treating fluids, interspersed with metallic and/or other material impurities, used for cooling and/or lubrication, in particular for separating off mill scale and oil-containing or grease-containing substances from the process water of open cooling circulations in the metallurgical industry, in particular in rolling mills, it is proposed to separate the coarse mill scale by means of gravity sedimentation from the contaminated process water, then to remove the medium-size and fine mill scale particles from the process water preclarified in this way, preferably by means of magnetic separation, and to separate the process water, finally clarified accordingly, by means of flotation into fractions which contain oil concentrate, water and very fine mill scale particles of low oil content; the clarified process water is re-used as coolant, all the mill scale separated off from the process water is smelted as sinter and the oil-containing concentrate is either discarded or subjected to spent oil reprocessing. It is also proposed to carry out this method in an appropriately designed treatment device.

Abstract: The method is used for transmitting via a transmission network (1) information between two subscriber stations (TS1, TS2) which in each case contain a computer arrangement (7), a modem (8) and a transceiver (9). In each computer arrangement (7), there are four hierarchically ordered levels (AP, TR, DK, PH) in which in each case commands and/or displays are triggered. A highest-order level (AP) of a primary station (TS1) initiates that the information is subdivided into data blocks, at least the last one of which is provided with a first code. A level (TR) of the second-highest order initiates that the information blocks are subdivided into data packets, at least the last one of which within each data block is provided with a second code. Received data packets are combined into data blocks in the order in which they are received and the latter ones are combined in the order in which they appear, to form information items. The method is particularly transparent and corresponds to the latest and most modern requirements of transmission engineering. <IMAGE>

This water glass solution having a solids content of at least 20% by weight is treated in a spray dryer with hot air of from 200 to 300 DEG C to form a powdered amorphous sodium disilicate having a water content (determined as loss at red heat at 700 DEG C) of from 15 to 23% by weight and a bulk weight of at least 300 g/l. The spray-dried powdered amorphous sodium disilicate is pre-ground.
